Carnation of corrugated paper with your own hands as a decoration for the holiday

Now various bouquets are very popular, but giving an ordinary bouquet of flowers for a holiday is somehow too banal. On the other hand, you can not come without flowers at all. Thanks to various techniques of needlework, you can make bouquets using all sorts of materials, for example, beads, fabrics, leather or wire. But there is also such an option as making flowers from paper, for example, corrugated. This method is one of the simplest and most beautiful.

Carnation of corrugated paper, made by hand, will always remind a person about who gave it to her. It will not wither and fall, it only needs to remove dust from time to time, that's all. In order to make such a carnation, the following materials will be needed:

• Corrugated paper (the color that the carnation will be);
• Wire (thick and thin);
• Floral tape (green tint);
• scissors;
• Glue (better PVA).

Progress:

1. First you need to cut a strip of corrugated paper of this size: 45 cm long and 8 cm wide.
2. Then it is necessary to bend the strip along the length by about 2.5 -3 cm.
3. After it is bent, it is necessary to stretch the bent part along the entire length, as a result, a figured edge will appear.
4. Next, it is required to reel the resulting strip on the thick wire with the processed edge, as if forming a flower.
5. The resulting flower should be fixed with a thin wire near the base.
6. Now you need to trim the extra edges on all sides that are at the bottom.
7. After all of the above, we wind the flower leg with a floral tape from the base to the very end.

As a result, you get a beautiful carnation from corrugated paper, made with your own hands, which looks like real. You can create an entire composition by making a few such flowers and fixing them in a basket or wrapping them in wrapping paper. That's such a simple way you can make a wonderful and topical gift. Carnation of corrugated paper, created by its own hands, will always create an atmosphere of solemnity in the room. Bouquets of such flowers can be used to decorate a festive table, especially in winter. Carnations from paper can decorate the room (curtains, walls, window openings), in which there will be some celebration.

But to decorate the room or room is used not only carnations. From the corrugated paper with their own hands, skilled craftsmen create a wide variety of products. For example, such: different baskets, trees, houseplants , fruits, vegetables. Less often do other (not floral) products from corrugated paper with their own hands, but they also enjoy a certain popularity. For example, decorations for New Year's or Christmas holidays.

But the most common option - a ball of corrugated paper. With their own hands, they are even easier to make than carnations. In order to make such a ball, it is enough to measure a strip of paper with a length of 35 cm and a width of 25 cm. There should be 8 such strips. Then you have to stack them and align the edges. Then you need to fold their accordion, and in the middle wind the wire, that is, as if divided into 2 parts. Then cut the edges so that they turn out to be sketchy. After that, on both sides it is necessary to fluff the resulting petals. As a result, a ball will turn out, which will be an excellent decoration for the premises for various holidays.
